training institute

Since its formation in 2000, the Alliance has been a leader in providing evidence-based training to social service agencies, hospitals, criminal justice systems, medical providers, educators, youth, and others. Our trainings help individual professionals and institutions build the capacity to better respond to sexual violence as well as develop institutional policies based on best practices in the sexual assault field.

colleges/universities

The Alliance was among the organizations whose voices informed the writing and passage of New York State’s Enough is Enough legislation, which provides guidelines to institutions of higher education statewide in their treatment of the problem of sexual violence. As a part of this effort, the Alliance launched the Campus Training Institute (CTI), a training program designed to meet the requirements of critical federal and state legislations while helping colleges and universities address sexual violence among students, staff and faculty from an intersectional and trauma-informed perspective.We assist schools with their onboarding and ongoing educational training efforts on a wide range of topics including the causes and effects of sexual violence, consent, and bystander engagement.

TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

The Alliance’s trainings and technical assistance initiative support the efforts of rape crisis programs, practitioners, schools, community organizations and non-traditional partners, including bars, nightlife establishments, transportation services, in sexual violence prevention and response. Having served as a formal New York State Center of Excellence in Sexual Assault Prevention (COEs), we use a well-formed technical assistance methodology and have the successful track record required to guide thoughtful prevention programs in multiple settings.

Our Training and Technical Assistance staff works closely with programs on an individual level to provide customized training, policy and programming advice, needs assessments, and educational opportunities. We also work regionally and at state level to increase the representation of the needs and rights of survivors, the programs that serve them, and the communities most affected by sexual violence through technical assistance, training and advocacy.

We provide educational resources, such as toolkits and webinars, designed to increase skills and knowledge of survivors, providers, policymakers and the general public about trends and needs related to innovative programs and best practices in sexual violence prevention and response.
